Timber is wanted at Manchester United, where his former Ajax coach Erik ten Hag is kicking off the start of his reign at Old Trafford next season.
The 20-year-old defender’s representatives have been in talks with the Red Devils and the Premier League giants have also been in conversations with Ajax over agreeing on a deal.
But Timber recently indicated that he has not ruled out staying at Ajax next season if he does not see a proper plan from his suitors.
Van Gaal insisted that the youngster has the quality to play in the Premier League, but admitted that he is not sure that it is the right time for him to leave Ajax.
He believes Timber would be stupid not to prioritise playing time in any decision he takes this summer.
Van Gaal said in a press conference: “I think a player of his qualities can definitely play in the Premier League.
“That is not the problem, but whether he should take that step now…that is the question.
“If he is not playing then he is not that smart.
“He has got to play.”
Ten Hag is believed to be keen to play Timber at right-back or as the right-sided centre-back in a back three.
